Owing to their contribution and effort, WTEC became the major commercial advocate of open source software and a leading open source house.

With WTEC joining them, Asianux solidifies even more their position on the Linux for Enterprise OS market in Asia and improve their contribution worldwide.

WTEC will release Asianux product nationwide; they will also develop Linux for Enterprise OS business through Asianux in addition to their own open source software business. WTEC already secured a variety of open source technologies and delivered many solutions based on open source software.

Thanks to the unique ‘4-CO’ business model of Asianux - co-development, co-brand, co-support and co-marketing the Asianux Consortium differentiates itself from other Linux vendors such as Red Hat and Novell. Asianux is contributing to establish an Asian standard Linux Platform in terms of combining Asia wisdom and taking advantages of integrated local resources.

Current Linux market share is approximately

8% in Thailand, however, the due to spread of official licenses I believe that the Linux market share would be increased, which contributes to the progress of Asianux. Japanese government supports and invites over 250 engineers through Computer Association of Thailand to give the training of software development. I strongly wish that Asianux works for the improvement of Open Source Software in Thailand by experience of MIRACLE LINUX. "

As businesses get harder to be profitable especially with the economic downturn at the moment, a lot of companies will take a serious look at open source. I am confident that the market will be more receptive to Asianux’s way of selling than those of our counterparts’. Thank you for the big welcome from the members.
